It’s tempting not to go away this cosy spot, however one other draw of this home is its location. Despite being set on 6 acres of its personal land, it is surprisingly accessible, and getting to the charming coastal city of Oban takes simply 10 minutes by automotive by lovely views of the Scottish Highlands. We embrace the seaside in April and discover the road on foot earlier than hopping on a ship to neighbouring Scottish islands, recognizing seals on the approach and stopping for fish and chips to heat our bones.
Back at the home we spend our mornings in pyjamas and wellies, crunching by the leaves to spot pink squirrels, and in the evenings we laze by the fireplace, rolling down the projector-screen in the lounge for film evening earlier than heading upstairs to mattress where the cloak of pure darkness (no mild air pollution this far into the Scottish countryside) and deep, deep silence set the tone for the most restorative sleep any of us have had in months.
Home Farm is a spot with soul, and one which, as soon as stumbled upon, appears like a treasure discover. Just ask its closest neighbours, the nesting barn owls who reside in a hut on the roof, and who may be noticed on the property’s built-in ‘owl-cam’. They look fairly content material to me, and if I have been them, I’d accept life right here, too.
